Hey Wout, we just had a standup (each participant introduced himself/herself and explained what they are going to work on today). Main communication is going to be over #nixos on IRC so that people online can be part of the team. I'll make sure we have livestreaming up and running today. Cheers,

[Nix-dev] systemd in initrd

2014-08-23 Thread Luca Bruno
I've asked a relevant question on systemd-devel, on whether the support initrd will be supported in the future[1]. Also, it seems that fedora uses systemd in initrd due to using dracut[2]. [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-August/022398.html [2] http://fedoraproject.org

[Nix-dev] systemd in initrd

2014-08-23 Thread Luca Bruno
Wall hit: systemd calls binaries like mount etc. First problem: they are hardcoded paths to the nix store, and it's hard to change those references. Possible solution: rebuild systemd in order to call /bin/mount instead. That's easy. Second problem: after switching root, those binaries are no mo

Have you looked at the current initrd? Doesn't it have the files in /nix/store? On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 06:24:54PM +0200, Luca Bruno wrote: > Wall hit: systemd calls binaries like mount etc. > > First problem: they are hardcoded paths to the nix store, and it's hard to > change those references.

Re: [Nix-dev] systemd in initrd

2014-08-23 Thread Luca Bruno
The problem is that systemd calls other binaries at runtime. systemd binary references are nuked to /nix/store/e/bin/mount, for example. Probably there are no such examples in the current initrd that I can look at. On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 6:28 PM, Lluís Batlle i Rossell wrote: > Have yo
